Buy ready-rolled puff pastry for an even quicker and easier dessert
 

Ingredients

  • 350g puff pastry (ready-to-roll or ready-rolled pastry is fine)
  • 3 dessert apples
  • juice of ½ lemon
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 tbsp Demerara sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 150ml whipping cream
  • 1–2 tbsp Calvados (apple brandy, although regular brandy will do)
  • mint sprigs, for garnish (optional)
  • 1 handful raspberries or blackberries, to serve (optional)
Serves: 4 Preparation: 20 Cook Time: 12 Total Time: 32min whats this
 

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to //gas mark Roll out the pastry to a thickness of about m. Cut out circles about cm in diameter and place on a baking sheet.
  2. Peel, core and slice the apples. Place the slices in a bowl and squeeze over the lemon juice.
  3. Carefully brush the outside rim of the pastry with the beaten egg, taking care not to let the egg drip down the sides (this prevents the pastry from rising evenly). Fan out the apple slices on the surface of the pastry, leaving a narrow rim around the edge.
  4. Mix together the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and sprinkle over the apples. Bake for &# minutes until risen and golden.
